Automate translation progress tracking for documentation

[Copilot]

Translation progress was manually tracked in GitHub issues with checklists requiring manual updates after each PR. This PR automates that process.

Changes

GitHub Action (.github/workflows/update-translation-progress.yml)

• Triggers on translation/source doc changes, daily at 00:00 UTC, and manual dispatch
• Scans source docs, compares with translations per locale, updates tracking issues via API

Script (.github/scripts/update-translation-trackers.js)

• Pure Node.js implementation using native https module
• Recursively scans packages/docs/site/docs/ and packages/docs/site/i18n/{locale}/
• Generates formatted issue bodies with progress stats and hierarchical checklists
• Updates issues: Bengali [Translation] Bengali translation progress tracker #3186, French [Translation] French translation progress tracker #2621, Tagalog [Translation] Tagalog(Filipino) translation progress tracker #2353, Portuguese [Translation] Brazilian Portuguese(pt-BR) documentation translation progress tracker #2306, Gujarati [Translation] Gujarati(gu) documentation translation progress tracker #2320

Configuration

• Added Bengali (bn) locale to docusaurus.config.js
• Organized locales alphabetically

Documentation

• Updated contributing/translations.md with automation details and instructions for adding new languages
• Added TRANSLATION_AUTOMATION.md for system overview
• Added .github/scripts/README.md for script documentation

Current State

The automation detects 74 source files and tracks:

• bn: 16/74 (22%), fr: 15/74 (20%), tl: 30/74 (41%), pt-BR: 59/74 (80%), gu: 27/74 (36%)

Adding New Languages

1. Add locale to docusaurus.config.js locales array and localeConfigs
2. Add to TRACKER_ISSUES object in script with issue number
3. Add display name to getLocaleDisplayName() function

Warning

Firewall rules blocked me from connecting to one or more addresses (expand for details)

I tried to connect to the following addresses, but was blocked by firewall rules:

• cdn.cypress.io
  • Triggering command: /usr/local/bin/node node index.js --exec install (dns block)
• https://api.github.com/repos/WordPress/wordpress-playground/issues/2306
  • Triggering command: /usr/local/bin/node node .github/scripts/update-translation-trackers.js (http block)
• https://api.github.com/repos/WordPress/wordpress-playground/issues/2320
  • Triggering command: /usr/local/bin/node node .github/scripts/update-translation-trackers.js (http block)
• https://api.github.com/repos/WordPress/wordpress-playground/issues/2353
  • Triggering command: /usr/local/bin/node node .github/scripts/update-translation-trackers.js (http block)
• https://api.github.com/repos/WordPress/wordpress-playground/issues/2621
  • Triggering command: /usr/local/bin/node node .github/scripts/update-translation-trackers.js (http block)
• https://api.github.com/repos/WordPress/wordpress-playground/issues/3186
  • Triggering command: /usr/local/bin/node node .github/scripts/update-translation-trackers.js (http block)

If you need me to access, download, or install something from one of these locations, you can either:

• Configure Actions setup steps to set up my environment, which run before the firewall is enabled
• Add the appropriate URLs or hosts to the custom allowlist in this repository's Copilot coding agent settings (admins only)
